Will 8P8C Connectors be replaced in the future?

When it comes to the history of RJ45 connectors, it’s worth noting that these mini ports have stood the test of time, maintaining their original shape. No one wants to replace them. Their enduring design remains unaltered, with the only variations arising from the evolution of Ethernet cables.

However, in the industry of audio and video connectors, innovation always happens. For example, USB-A was developed into USB-C in the last few years.

Why does it happen? Do you think these connectors will be replaced or developed in the future?

I believe the 8P8C connector won’t be replaced; it will remain a staple in networking. However, in industries with diverse requirements, the 8P8C connector will undoubtedly see innovation and development.
